Click HERE for CAS-ual Friday Challenge 134, the last one for 2014 & a Give-a-way!


It's that time again, the Papertrey Ink July Blog Hop!

Check out the inspiration photo:



So, I should start by saying that I love that red/white gingham...a lot.  I even started cutting strips of cardstock to do some paper weaving and then ditched the idea.

I tend to always fall back on the Phrase Play collection:

cardstock:  PTI pure poppy/vintage cream  paper:  Echo Park for the record  stamps:  PTI phrase play #1  ink:  hero arts hues  other:  PTI phrase play #1 die, impress wood button, may arts twine

So here goes:

gingham:  switched it up and used green/white gingham
red/cream colors:  used it with phrase play #1
doily:  check
floral bouquet:  check
buttons:  check
wooden spools:  wooden button
thread:  twine



Phrase Play #1


Phrase Play #1 Die


Pure Poppy


Vintage Cream


I can't wait to see how everyone else was inspired!
